Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Metallic Cartridge Cases and Shells and in Tools to be used in the said Manufacture.
Inventor: TAYLOR LESLIE BOWN
IPC: B21D51/54
Filed: 1911-02-24
Granted: 1912-02-22
Abstract: 4661. Taylor, L. B., and Sanders, F. Feb. 24. Cupping. - The cartridge case, having a stop shoulder near its end and shown in Fig. 8, is made from a cupped blank or from a tube by first subjecting the partly-formed case to the action of a punch b and die c, thereby forming an external ogee shoulder. By a series of operations in apparatus such as is shown in Fig. 4, consisting of a die c<1> and a punch b' of less diameter than the partly - formed cartridge case, the work assumes the form shown in Fig. 6. Fig. 7 shows the next stage in the operation, namely tapering by means of a tapering die c<2>. The external square shoulder is then formed by a turning or like operation. In a modification for making cases which taper internally and externally and have consequently a thick mouth-end to serve as a stop shoulder, a tapered die and cylindrical mandrel is first employed as shown in Fig. 9. The blank is then pushed into a cylindrical die and finally is reversed and pushed into a tapering die. By reducing a part of the thick end, a stop shoulder may be formed at a short distance from the end.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Pricking Heels of Boots or Shoes.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: A43D79/00
Filed: 1911-05-31
Granted: 1912-05-30
Abstract: 13,120. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. May 31. Heels, machines for.- In a machine for pricking heels, of the type described in Specification 24,743/03, the blanks are fed along a guideway 86, Fig. 4, by a yielding reciprocating- finger 92 into a position where their opposite faces are engaged by a perforated templet 52, Fig. 3, preferably having one face bevelled, and a shaped heel-seat die 38, which is formed with a curved back 40 adjustably secured in a follower 36; this follower is adjustably carried by a carriage 26, which is reciprocated by gearing from a power-driven or hand-driven main shaft. The templet 52 is mounted for vertical adjustment in a frame 56, 58, Figs. 3 and 4, carried by sliding rods 54, which are mounted in a bracket 44 and are surrounded by springs. As the carriage 26 moves forwards, the die 38 forces the heel blank and the templet 52 backwards, until the heel is engaged and pricked by a gang of awls 50, which are carried by a plate 48 mounted in a guide in the face of the bracket 44; on the return movement of the carriage, the templet is kept in contact with the heel by the springs surrounding the rods 54, so that it serves effectively to strip the blank from the awls. The awls are furnished with spherical heads 80 located in a single or in separate recesses in a block 74 secured to the plate 48; a coverplate 78, slotted to receive loosely the awl stems, covers the recess or recesses in the block 74. To hold the heel blank securely while being pricked, the face of the die 38 is furnished with a spur 7, Fig. 9, in the form of a cylindrical pin, which has a chisel edge 8 formed by flattening its underside 9, and bevelling its upper side; this spur embeds itself in the heel blank when the blank is engaged by the die 38. To position the blank, its curved edge is engaged by a forked member 108, Fig. 4, secured by a stud and slot to a slide 106, which can be adjusted vertically in a yoke 112, Figs. 3 and 4, by means of a hand-wheel 114 carried by a plunger 116 surrounded by a spring 118. The yoke 112 is supported by arms 122 from a rock-shaft 124, which is controlled by a spring 134 and a camlever 128 actuated by an adjustable cam block 132 secured to the reciprocating carriage 26, so that the fork 108 is lowered to engage and to centre the heel as the carriage 26 moves forwards, and is elevated again after the heel blank has been pricked. In order that the forked member 108 may place the curved edges of all blanks, irrespective of size, at the same distance from the rearmost awl, a portion of the guideway 86 is formed so that it will yield to the heel when pressed down by the fork 108; the spring 118 only yields to excessive resistance, to prevent breakage of the machine.

Title: Improvements in Breech-loading Guns.
Inventor: LENDER FRANCIS
IPC: F41A5/32
Filed: 1911-08-01
Granted: 1912-02-29
Abstract: 17,483. Lender, F. Aug. 1. Ordnance breech mechanism.-Relates to guns in which the breech is automatically operated by an accumulator, and consists in loading the accumulator by the inertia of a heavy body, capable of free translation independent of the gun. In the form shown, on the recoil of the casing o, Fig. 1, fixed to the gun barrel, the inertia mass a, which is capable of sliding in the casing, lags behind, compressing the spring b until the catch f on the casing enters the recess f in the mass. The rod c, which feathers in the mass a and is guided by a projection g in a slightly screw-shaped groove g<1> in the casing o, is then moved forwards by the reaction of the spring b compressing the weaker spring d, and causing the screw e to rotate in a female screw formed in the hollow end of the rod c. This rotation, through the wheel e', which engages a pinion gearing with a rack on the wedge breechblock j, opens the breech, and at the same time the screw-shape of the groove g<1> causes the rod e and therefore the mass a to rotate slightly to disengage the catch f from its recess f<1>, shown in section in Fig. 9, and release the mass a. The spring d then moves both the rod c and the mass a to the rear, and returns the breechblock until the notches k' meet the claws k of the ejector h. Loading the cartridge unlocks the claws k, and the spring d completes the closure of the breech. A handle I is provided for actuating the breech by hand without bring- ing the accumulator into operation. In a modification, the screw mechanism e is replaced by a rack and pinion.

Abstract: 12,585. Tellkampf, A. June 22, 1912, [Convention date]. Etching.-In the preparation of a printing- surface in which a resist of bitumen or the like is used between the bichromated albumen sensitized layer which is exposed under a halftone negative and developed with water, a solvent composed of alcoholic liquids mixed with oils or fats is employed for dissolving the resist under the developed image. Such mixtures can stand for a long time on the bichromate layer without soaking into it, and the solvent action is only in a downward direction and does not have an undercutting action. A small quantity of acid may be added to the resist solvent to increase its action. The resist solvent may be applied in such a way as to form a thin film, by a brush, roller, cotton-wool, or moleskin, or by sawdust, corkdust, bran, or the like. The alcohol evaporates, leaving the oil on the plate, which has no solvent action either on the bichromate or the resist, and a quick termination to the solvent action is thus effected. The oil is eventually removed by means of turpentine, benzine, or benzole.
